Just flashed, so excited.

Must......let.........it.........sit..........before.............use......

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[Vibrant Android Development] ajamils:
How long is the first boot supposed to take? My phone has been sitting on the Galaxy S - GT -19000 screen for long 10 mins now.
[Vibrant Android Development] nobd4721:
Try reflashing it
[Vibrant Android Development] uurrnn:
Like what?
[Vibrant Android Development] kevho00:
Dont take anything off the home screen! It will FC all dayy! D:

*bug*
[Vibrant Android Development] ajamils:
Reflashed. Seem to be working now. Would have liked to have sound in the boot animation :) (just like MIUI)
[Vibrant Android Development] vinnydakid:
Is there any real difference between this and the version in the i9000 forums? I just got that set up perfectly and I don't want to have to redo everything.
[Vibrant Android Development] taurus193:
launcher FC.....re-boot more than 4 times
[Vibrant Android Development] wachalookinat:
Apps included: applanet market, cpu master, cpu spy, dev tools, faster fix, google+, gps test, juice defender, g+ messenger, NB Angry GPS, NB Task killer, titanium, quadrant, Root browser, Super User, voodoo control plus.
[Vibrant Android Development] nobd4721:
I was able to get around that, all you have to do is go to settings->apps->all->Lancher and clear data and force stop. and that should leave the homescreen stock and no FC
[Vibrant Android Development] manlisten:
Yeah, I removed a widget and the launcher crashed. Went into settings and cleared app data for the launcher and it's all good now.

Side note, is it just me or are the colors a bit lighter/washed out on alpha 7? The menus for instance look like a lighter, washed out grey.
[Vibrant Android Development] wachalookinat:
Hey everyone, like most of you, I was suffering from some annoying lag. Even overclocked to 1.3...still laggy. I just changed the wallpaper from live, to just a standard black and blue wallpaper that was included with the rom. Just changing the wallpaper, and now I'm virtually lag free. Try it out and let me know if this worked for you also.
[Vibrant Android Development] ajamils:
Thanks for the tip. You just saved me from reflashing the phone :)
[Vibrant Android Development] nobd4721:
Glad it worked :)
[Vibrant Android Development] kevho00:
Awesome tips thanks! Does anybody know how to get Wi-Fi working?
[Vibrant Android Development] seojuhwan:
+1; I am confused about the differences too :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] mksin11:
agree with this too. 5 is too much for me i like to just keep it at 3...+1.
[Vibrant Android Development] vibrantliker:
alt keyboard

Can I use alternate keyboard, i.e. smart keyboard. If so how?
[Vibrant Android Development] Cerv3r:
There is no voodoo color in this kernel...why did someone say it had it
[Vibrant Android Development] Akareem81:
Wifi calling a possibility?

I know it is a new rom, but is there any possibility of wifi calling on it in the near future?
[Vibrant Android Development] b1337:
Read the OP
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
Working great!The only thing is the rom starts with landscape mode.
[Vibrant Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
I think 5 is not enough, I have 7 on my current ROM and have all of them filled. Going to have to change some things around on this ROM, but it does look like it is easy to navigate so you don't need lots of home screens I suppose.
[Vibrant Android Development] mksin11:
I can't wait for v4. So far this feels great. Its smooth, simple, and has a more attracting UI. Some miner glitches but none that will be too bothersome (unless you use them for daily use)
[Vibrant Android Development] ngocbeo90:
...

Please put stock live wallpaper from Galaxy Nexus (or Android 4.0) on this rom in next realese:D
[Vibrant Android Development] mksin11:
*I might just do a video review since it would be easier to explain
[Vibrant Android Development] muncknr:
v3 is amazingly smooth and fast, I am so happy. Easily outweighs the small problems for now. My vibrant is running better than it ever did on stock or cm7
[Vibrant Android Development] DanglaGT:
What's up with music2.apk being a system app? I uninstalled/deleted in an attempt to update to the latest music app and it said incompatible update so how do I get it back?
[Vibrant Android Development] coolairG1:
+1, even though this wallpaper is beautiful, I love the stock ICS live wallpaper.
[Vibrant Android Development] jpeckover:
Thanks so much Neobuddy for this release of V3 . Seems more smooth then the others and the reboot menu is awesome.. Finally I can reboot instead of just powering off my phone..

Props to you man.. :) Great Job so far.. interested to see where you take this..
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
Working on Auto Rotation Fix and GPS Fix with proper kernel. Please don't ask for ETA.
[Vibrant Android Development] Exel:
I'll post a review of it here, just so you can see maybe what you can tweak and what not, but I've got to say, you've done a great job with so far, very snappy and smooth.

Speed: 7

It runs great, opens apps pretty quick and whatnot, but it does lag a little bit.

Scrolling through homescreens is pretty good, a bit laggy, but good.

Scrolling through App drawer is a tad bit laggy, but it's good as well.

Look: 10

I love how ICS looks, it's awesome. ;D

A feature I do think they're dumb for not adding is the ability to make your Lockscreen background different from your homescreen one. (I know this has nothing to do with you, ahah.)

Network: 9

It's working great, pretty fast, 3g works good, data is fine, wifi is fine.

Bugs, maybe?

When using the keyboard and going home, the keyboard takes a while to actually go away. (Kernel problem, I think.. happened on Eugene's first CM7 kernel) (Really annoying to me. :p)

Screen flickers when locking. (Known bug.)

Auto-rotation. (Known bug, I can careless for it.)

Not sure if it works or not:

Camera - Mine is broken, can't test.

Tethering/Hotspot - Haven't tested.

Also, I'd suggest removing that cracked app you have included. (xda will eat you alive. :p) Install File Manager or sumfin instead.

Thanks for this, using it now, can't wait for v4!
[Vibrant Android Development] coolairG1:
Great. I only need Auto rotation fix. My GPS works quite good, have not tested Navigation though.
[Vibrant Android Development] junglerumble:
Better youtube and just an even smoother experience less force closes would make this perfect
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
UI Lag is due to lack of hardware composition in every ICS Build, I guess.

And don't worry all lag will be gone with init.d support I will implement.

Thanks for reviewing.
[Vibrant Android Development] mattraab:
Ok u guys need to look around before accusing neo of lag. In his app u can change memory settings and other stuff.
[Vibrant Android Development] avengethis1:
Completely agree. I always format boot system cache and dalvik. I have no prpblems . Rom runs great!
[Vibrant Android Development] Stevethegreat:
According to logcat "MediaProvider" works ceaselessly that does account for the extreme lag that many of us encounter as well as the low battery.

I guess that's something that should be resolved in the next revision, 'cause v7 *is* the best rom I've ever used until the "MediaProvider" bug sets it, then it's mostly unusable... sadly.
[Vibrant Android Development] 9xnine:
I had this problem. The culprit appears to be download manager. I force stopped it and the phone now goes into deep sleep until I reboot.
[Vibrant Android Development] traicer:
I used TB yo freeze and then defrost to stop it from preventing deep sleep
[Vibrant Android Development] Me2995:
Ok, at first lot's of lag, deleted init.d, but the media process was still causing trouble.

Went into accounts, disabled Google Photos sync, and after a while the process was gone. It's strange though my Picassa albums still show up in the galery.

At the end, my phone is really flying now!
[Vibrant Android Development] jayprime:
I'm not a huge fan of the calendar in this rom. Does anyone have an updated touchwiz calendar apk that would would work?
[Vibrant Android Development] Carlos1970:
I installed v.7 and have not installed any apps nor restored anything I had in CM7.

There is a little lag but I don't find it to be a big issue.

The GPS works great but have not tested it using Google maps while moving.

I did up the CPU to 1300 and the phone did spend over 5 hours in deep sleep overnight.

This morning I have installed tapatalk, and configured 4 email accounts. (Phone, personal, work and business).

Does anyone know a good kernal for this? Not necessary to have one but just wondering
[Vibrant Android Development] jrosarioaz:
Got a 2938 on quadrant and GPS looked good
[Vibrant Android Development] hahahaclneo:
has the baseband issue been fixed? tried flashing this rom like 2 weeks ago couldnt get my base band down, tried flashing the modem separate and backing up my efs folder but no luck, so just wondering if its been fixed before i give it a shot again
[Vibrant Android Development] AuraspeeD:
Already back to CM7. The lag was unacceptable for me. This was after letting it rest for an hour before touching after initial flash. I installed 2 apps total, deleted unit.d, playing with governor settings, etc. And overnight it didn't deep sleep once.

Sorry, I appreciate the hard work.
[Vibrant Android Development] MailenJokerbell:
Hello, I am 12 and what's this?

"Format SYSTEM from Mounts and Storage."

I flashed this as soon as I woke up/downloaded, I did not read the updated instructions.

What happens if I didn't do that part?
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
Nothing. It's ok.
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
If you lose baseband.. ODIN to LIDROID and then Flash to ICS.

Works for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] Lieu10ant:
neo, i did everything everyone suggested about the lag, but i'm still getting lag. lol. wutdo?
[Vibrant Android Development] mystycs:
Where can i find this odin lidroid?
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
I suggest you need to flash fresh after doing these steps:

1. Open zip file on your PC.

2. Delete /system/etc/init.d

3. Place THIS file in system/bin

4. Flash it. Enjoy no lag but less quadrant.

EDIT:

This post got updated ROM with above steps followed. Click HERE.
[Vibrant Android Development] tiebmbr:
ROM is great. Any way to re-implement gamma hack into the kernal with next release? I know it was in earlier builds.
[Vibrant Android Development] nbhnohome:
Sorry but what is the extension of "THIS" file ?

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] OmniNut:
Rom seems to run great for me - the GPS worked awesome the first time I tested it, and then it seems like it just never worked again so I don't know what happened there.. All in all, this is a pretty sweet rom!
[Vibrant Android Development] shznit:
Thanks again for the awesome rom.

One issue, since 6.5 and now in 7 I see the Media app killing battery for no reason. Does anyone know what's going on?
[Vibrant Android Development] Me2995:
Maybe you should take the time to read a couple of pages back. Anyway maybe this post can help a bit.

this makes the /datadata partition work? is there a way we can make this a flashable zip so we dont have to wipe?
[Vibrant Android Development] L1LK1LLERZ:
Hey Neo, can you just make a zip for us instead, so we can just flash it without asking you anymore questions. Thanks bro.
[Vibrant Android Development] dsimages:
This seems to be my case as well. GPS locked on to 8 out of 13 sats very quickly. But nothing after a reboot....

I also deleted the init.d folder and rom is much smoother.

@annex/neo - I made some changes to the wallpaper pack and I am adding some more walls as well. I will post DL link this afternoon..
[Vibrant Android Development] shznit:
I did read that, but I didn't make the connection between photo sync and Media service.
[Vibrant Android Development] Me2995:
No problem, I don't know if it's THE solution. One other person posted about rebooting in recovery and wiping both caches.

I did both and now it's gone, but give it lot's of time, let your phone rest for a while after you did this.
[Vibrant Android Development] OmniNut:
Alright! Something that seems to work for me is.

1. Turn off GPS

2. Reboot phone

3. Go to FasterFix and change to "Asia"

4. Test GPS

Touch wiz apps work in touch wiz framework. Which we don't have try to find a alternative on the market
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
It's for those who still feel laggy. I am not sure if datadata partition will get lag issue solved but it's worth giving a try with FRESH installation else no use.

I can't make separate zip to just upgrade to datadata partition.. busy looking into 4.0.3.
[Vibrant Android Development] zenchili:
Found at least part of the solution

I was also having problems with the phone not being able to into deep sleep. So I tried a few things. Deleting the init.d folder, which it wouldn't allow me to do, although it did delete the two files in it. I also set the CPU usage to conservative and took off OC. But the thing that finally allowed my phone to go into deep sleep was to freeze DRMProtectedContent using TB. It was something I've had to do on lots of previous ROMs.
[Vibrant Android Development] beren28:
Chalk me up as another person whose lag has improved greatly when unchecking the photo sync.

Hopefully it stays better, cause other than that infernal lag, this is looking good.

GPS working for me better than ANY on the cm7 fixes ever did.
[Vibrant Android Development] roundel77:
I am going to Europe in a couple of weeks . I do have unock code from T mobile. If I flash this am I gonna be able to use my phone over there? What GPS settings should I apply(wil be in Serbia and Bulgaria). I am on Trriger 3.2 final right now.Should I flash from here or follow odin, lindroid instruction in the OP? And in case somethings go wrong how to flash back to Trriger? Though recoveru or odin back to stock or lindroid? THANKS NEO ,thanks everybody in advance!

p.s. I have read 401 pages of this thread
[Vibrant Android Development] celltestr:
You were right. I reflashed and all is good now.. After reflashing both the Market and the Gallery are fine. Great job Neo! Amazing.
[Vibrant Android Development] samdroid959:
I agree, after I set it to conservative trying to save battery but notice the smoothness after.
[Vibrant Android Development] L1LK1LLERZ:
Haha, alright, I haven't had any lag, so I guess I am good. lol. Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] vexx786:

[Vibrant Android Development] lemmyslender:
This rom rocks! Thanks for all the hard work. Best GPS I've used so far, quick locks even after reboot, even inside.

Flashed from froyo rom with gingerbread bootloader, no boot loop, followed directions and cleared cache/dalvik cache. Worked great booted right up.

Very smooth, only occasionally lags (rare).

I was waiting for GPS to work before flashing. It's like having a new phone.

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Wipes all the settings; no big deal though.

GPS locked in like 5 seconds indoors; set to north america.

Thanks a lot.

EDIT: by the way I did the hardware GPS fix a loooong time ago.
[Vibrant Android Development] getnbzy:
Hi neo,

I'm not exactly a noob but on step 3 how do you place the file in the sys/bin? When i click it it's just a bunch of text. Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] Lieu10ant:
so.... unzip, the folder, put another file in another folder, but how would be rezip and resign it?
[Vibrant Android Development] mattb6288:
works great except for a few issues besides lag

-ffc stretching/ can't take pics (idk if you can fix that with the nexus s source when you fix the video camera, face unlock is kinda hard to work with when your face is to long to recognize. also don't know how it is on video chatting)

- gallery fc's at first then works, but still fc's while using it sometimes

that's pretty much it. other then that its awesome and smooth. didn't have any issues with TB like last time. gps works ok for me, but i've just learned to live without it.
[Vibrant Android Development] samdroid959:
I had the same problem a while back on versions 4-6.5, turned out I had a ghost file the media scanner is trying to read that's why your CPU is at full throttle and can't sleep so the only solution is to format both your sd cards (in my case the ghost file was in my internal) format your internal first but make sure you back it up from your PC, hope this helps
[Vibrant Android Development] getnbzy:
I start out by right clicking the Rom file itself and open with WinRar, that way i can make the necessary changes to the zip before opening/extracting, then i deleted /system/etc/init.d within the WinRar app window, then i get stuck on the above on how to complete step 3. Thanks for any help you can provide

Quadrant score isn't as important to me as reducing lag.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobshute:
Right click on the link and do a "save target as" to your desktop

It will save setupdatadata.txt

rename "setupdatadata.txt" to "setupdatadata" removing the ".txt" extension

Download 7zip if you don't have it.

Open ICS_nbv7.zip on your computer with 7zip

go to the /system/etc and delete init.d

with 7zip go to /system/bin

copy "setupdatadata" to /system/bin

close 7zip

Flash the modded ICS_nbv7.zip according to the instructions in the OP

Including format /system!!

edit:winrar should also work, I just prefer 7zip.
[Vibrant Android Development] Haxel:
Been using it for a little while now on v7. So far noticed the following myself that gave me best results.

1.) flash per instructions

2.) Disable photo sync

3.) Use ROM manager to set the CPU back to 1000Mhz

4.) Set the governor to conservative and check "apply at boot"

I did notice the "media service" eating my battery, killed it and not sure if it will improve now.... /sigh media service keeps coming back and eats battery (10% an hour)

My gmail email isnt always sync'ing though, looking into that... I do have exchange set up on the phone also.

Great work, v7 makes me happy. Its "daily driver" material... two biggest things from giving it 100% are just the sync inconsistencies and the "governor" tweaking.

I was really paranoid alot of "extras" were cooked into the ROM. You are great that you tried to keep the feature creep out while putting in what was needed to get the ROM going. Thank you and keep up the good work. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] vnamee:
I flashed the "alternate" version w/o the init.d and w/ /datadata and I can say, it just works a lot smoother. Got a quadrant of 1500, but functionally, it is overall better. Lag seems minimal. I haven't had time to check the other functions, but I'm assuming they'll work as they did in the "regular" version.

Of note, DO NOT flash the battery mod to this. You Will boot loop. What do I need to edit to make the mod compatible with this version?
[Vibrant Android Development] Lieu10ant:
how would we recompile the zip? any specific way? or just simply "right click, zip" we don't have to "sign" it?

willing to upload while i eat?
[Vibrant Android Development] bobshute:
10char....
[Vibrant Android Development] getnbzy:
Thanks. I'll give this a go.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobshute:
You do not unzip it and rezip it. You open it with 7zip make the changes, I listed above, and close it. It will be fine to flash after that.
[Vibrant Android Development] vnamee:
I made a copy of the rom and edited that. I just saved the file as a .txt and deleted the extension so it's just an extensionless txt file. I opened it up w/ winrar, deleted the /system/etc/init.d, and then dragged the setupdatadata to the /system/bin and closed winrar. That's literally it. Move it to your phone and flash.

Keep both copies on your phone so if something goes wrong, just flash the old one. Remember to format /system and wipe data.

I was flashing the battery mod right after installing this and it was bootlooping before I came to my senses and realized what was going on.

[Vibrant Android Development] FlipnKraut:
I don't think the Media process preventing deep sleep issue is related to photo syncing. I reflashed V7 and skipped the login for my google account. Issue is still present. The Media process is constantly running. I even tried flashing V6 again, and its still persisting. Help? :confused: :confused:

Im trying to flash V7 with removing init.d like Neo said. We'll see how that goes.
[Vibrant Android Development] glacon175:
Hey, I asked this a little while back, but it was when v7 had just come out, so it probably wasn't the best time:

After searching for what feels like ever, I really can't find a solution to this problem.

The Google Voice Search app... It works wonderfully, but when I use Voice Actions to try to send a text message, it will not auto-capitalize the first word in the sentence...

I tried uninstalling it, and reinstalling the one from the market, which is a lower version, and removes the instant text from the keyboard option (Which is fantastic). Strangely, there is no issue on that version :/

I'm running Passion v6.5, but will upgrade once my phone is charged... maybe the update fixed it?

Any solution or ideas would be appreciated :)
[Vibrant Android Development] granduke:
Has reflashing with this method reduced the lagging for you?
[Vibrant Android Development] molemusprime:
Neo/annex/nelson and even dsimages thank you all for all the hard work you've put into this rom (v7) its supersmooth, gps is working got a quadrant score of over 2900 this just fantastic its too bad not everyone else is having the same experience. The quick question, and where can I pull some of the included wallpapers from? I like to use wp clock and i want to slap one of the backgrounds on it. Thanks again!
[Vibrant Android Development] vnamee:
I noted that something was off when I flashed the original v7. The alternate version w/ /datadata is like, AMAZING.

The smoothness is just ridiculous and so far, everything seems to be working great. I have to charge it to check the batteries, but I do think it's a fairly big difference and would highly recommend this version. With light use, I could pull >24 hours on v6.5, so I hope the battery is the same or better w/ this (we'll see if the GPS adds much overhead).

Great work Neo. From here on out, I guess it'll be tweaking things, but this feels like the daily driver I've been looking for. I came from Froyo and just skipped GB entirely.
[Vibrant Android Development] androidmonkey:
Is it best to flash back to stock with ODIN before flashing this ROM? The OP doesnt state the need to but does it hurt if I do? I want the least chance of potential issues as possible.
